Missing spindle
I spent a couple of hours cleaning up the shop and looking for a NOS 118mm Sugino spindle that I'm going to need when doing some work for a friend sometime after Christmas. It was in a quart-size ziplock bag full of other assorted spindles. I didn't find the main bag, but I did find a smaller bag containing only two spindles, one of which was, fortunately, the one I wanted. That was a stroke of luck! I made a mental note to put someplace where I wouldn't forget about it.
That was the day before yesterday. I went back into the shop today to put the spindle in a box with some other parts I'm planning to use on the same project.. But I now have no idea where the Sugino spindle could be. I I tore my hair a little bit and retraced my steps from Sunday as best I could, to no avail.
I am a little bit frustrated now. My guess is that it has somehow made its way into someone else's shop. If anyone sees the damn thing, let me know, okay?
